英语构词法（12）-单词构词法
fall
降落,降临
字根 cad,cas,cid 源自拉丁文 cadere v., 有 fall 之意. cas 的拼法来自 cadere 的 过去分词 casurus,cid 则来自过去简单式 的 cecidi. 这个字根组成的单字,带有 [ 降落] 意义的占小部份,如 cascades 2 [小 瀑布] 和 decadence 3 n. [堕落],其他大部 分则含有 [命运临头] 的隐义,如accident n. [事故],case n. [情形],casual a. [意外,偶然的] 等. cadence 4 n. [韵律, 节奏] 源自法文的 cadence,指 [乐音的滑 落],因此 [韵律] 这个解释亦相去不远.

[成功,继承],原在拉丁 文作 excedere,procedere,succedere,进 入英文才逐渐转成 ceed 的形态. 例如: succeed,字首 suc 为 sub [在下] 的变音 ,原拉丁文 succedere 有 [下降,临近] 的意思,引申成 [继承],最后并可指 [顺 利进行],而有 [成功] 的意思.

[精密 的],拉丁文分别为 decidere v., concisus a.,praecisus a.. 例字中的 decide 字首 de 有 away 的意思,拉丁文 原义为 [切断],后来引申而成 [解决,决 定]. precise 源出拉丁文形容词 praecisus,praecisus 又出自动词 praecidere,副词 prae (即pre) 有before 的意思,因此拉丁文原当作 [切短,中断], 经截断的事物比较精简,又引申而成 [精确 的].

字根 cor,cord,cour 源出拉丁文名词 cor [心]. cord 的拼法出自 cor 的属格 (genitive) 变化 cordis; cour 则出自法 文,只有 courage n. [勇气] 一字有这种 拼法. cor 在拉丁文原可引申为 [心思,心 意] 的意思,因此字根加上字首 con 8 [一起 ,共同],便成 concord 44 v. [协调,和谐]; 加上 dis [分离],则成 discord 45 n. [不一 致,不调和].

[演 说,论文] 源自法文discours,法文的 discours 则又来自拉丁文 discursus,字 首 dis 有 away 之意,原字义为 [奔驰, 四散],后来使引申成 [讨论],指人们天马 行空的谈论. 另一字succor 52 n./v. [救助] 是美国英文的拼法,英国英文原本拼作 succour,字首suc为sub [在下] 的变体, 原拉丁文succurrere v.本有 [驰向,驰援] 的意思,后又引申而成 [救援,帮助].
